This is absolutely horrific. Two friends of mind were evacuated and lost their homes. Praying for all those in California affected.

Just devastating. My son has to fly out to LA once or twice a month on business - thankfully his flight this week was cancelled.

I have entrepreneur friends who are freaking out this morning. I've advised them from day one to expand their horizons. It's too risky maintaining a business just on one social media platform.

Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/mad-meta-dont-let-them-collect-and-monetize-your-personal-data?fbclid=IwY2xjawH6NBVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHatDfdglGeBX16SxypbPReNzW1EVEr91CwH_rZsudj6mnXfFMWSl2U6oVQ_aem_Dhv6X5eZgJDSl9WwXzlgdQ
Also, get rid of IE.
Edit: If it weren't for the wonderful family & friends I have, plus my business, I would just delete FB from my life. However, I do believe things are what you make them, and my feed is pretty clean because I took out the trash during the last presidential campaign.
I don't live in an echo chamber; there are family, classmates, and friends whose political and/or religious beliefs differ; however, I do have strict boundaries on how people speak to one another, and I'll have no part of disrespectful shaming, bullying, and harassment.
I'll also have no part of META shadowing me off their platform.
